This reminds me of a program in Florida (and few other cities?) where police gives free rides to drunk people back from bars. http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/too-drunk-to-drive-palm...

In many European countries this is a very regular occurrence too, instead of taking drunks to jail the police take them home.

Although, this isn't a service you can request over the phone... just an (probably better) alternative to taking people to jail and charging them with public intoxication or whatever.
